Tom Bassett: Florence Hardware donation appreciated

I write this letter to thank the owners of Florence Hardware for their generous donation of gardening tools to the Florence Organic Garden.

This is my first year as a gardener at FOG, located in the recently acquired Meadow Street conservation area. This donation has made it much easier for community members to become successful gardeners.

This is one example of the commitment that Florence Hardware provides to local activities. Florence Hardware is one of the things that makes Florence a wonderful community. The dedicated owners and friendly staff are always helpful with advice and the right materials for a home repair project. I’m always amazed with the amount of cool stuff they have on hand.

It’s even more important to support local businesses like Florence Hardware when they in turn, make the effort to support the community. Please join me in showing support by making your hardware purchases at Florence Hardware as much as possible.
